My maps
I've done most of my mapping in the Esbjerg area (especially detailed around my work and my house in Gammelby) but try to map anywhere I happen to drive/walk/cycle.
* Vacation 2006: Kollund and around German border, + a day trip to Als * Vacation 2007: Djursland, mostly Nørre Djurs and around Grenå
Equipment & trace logging
Historically I started tracing using my HP iPaq h2210 and Sanav BT-48 bluetooth GPS receiver, together with the VisualGPSce application for PocketPC, using gpsbabel to convert log files from NMEA 0813 -> GPX.
Nowadays I use both my Sony Ericsson X10i mini pro Android based mobile phone with the rough-edged but no fuss GPS Tracker Lite and my Garmin Forerunner 405 for tracing.
Traces
I make a great effort of documenting my traces, writing down streetnames, notes on intersection, street numbers, and whatever meta information I can comprehend while driving. This is all uploaded in the description field of my traces (and yes, it's routinely too small, so I resort to clever text compression tricks at the moment :)
I think this is a very important task for two resaons. First, it provides the raw data for other map editors, to position elements as precisely as possible. And secondly, to be able to completely ridicule and deny any future accusations on OSM for copyright infringements. I think that is bound to happen, when the current commercial data providers feel threathened enough.
